Carpe Diem Connections Season 3 Recap: 10 Keys to Happier Living

 

If you read this blog, you've probably discovered that I'm quite interested in Happiness! It turns out there are many wonderful resources, Websites, and communities dedicated to Happiness. I've listed those I've found on the Home Page of CarpeDiemDay.com.

I'd specifically like to highlight Action for Happiness.  There are all kinds of resources, calendars, and events aimed at taking action to create a happier life for yourself and others.  They even have materials to help volunteers facilitate monthly sessions. Becky and I have been co-hosting monthly Action for Happiness sessions since January 2021. (If you have any interest in joining, please let me know!)

I just wrapped up Season 3 of my Carpe Diem Connections Podcast using the 10 Keys as topics.  For each of the keys to happiness, I found a speaker who would be a guest and discuss the topic with me. It was really fun to seek out the speakers and make new virtual connections with these wise guests.  This was a definite highlight for me during the pandemic and I'm so grateful to all my guests!
